[b]And yes, Virginia, Diana DOES call Clark/Superman "Kal." Has since before the DCnU. In the past it was attributed to the fact that they were usually dressed as their super counterparts. These days, though it's what she calls him ALL the time.  It sounds like Clark has slapped the Kents in the face for all that they've given him.
KAL: Gee, thanks, Mom and Dad, but now that I know who my birth folks are, you and what you taught me don't really matter anymore.
I've never understood the concept of Clark rejecting his Kent heritage for his Kryptonian one. He grew up as Clark Kent, why should learning who his birth parents are make him forget who he had been for the first 20+ years of his life? It's why I love LnC so much. Our Clark is Clark first, Kal second (well, third, he has a complex life.) [/b]On the plus side of the Clark/Kal equation, Diana has been (of late in the Superman/Wonder Woman books) been advocating Clark give up being Clark in favor of being Superman 24/7. Methinks it's not just all Clark's fault. Not to mention it's something that is a pretty darn good compelling reason to split from Diana in the end. I think it's a pretty safe bet that Lois (even with the character assassinations that have happened of late in Superman #27) wouldn't ask that of Clark to the reverse (i.e. ask him to give up being Superman).
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
